"AppKit was ahead of its time and UIKit was a more polished version of AppKit. A serious cross-platform framework that unified the two should have happened long before SwiftUI."
I still believe the ideal strategy would have been:
1. Get UIKit to full parity with AppKit.
2. Deprecate AppKit.
3. Architect SwiftUI as a declarative layer on top of UIKit, not as an alternative. Refactor UIKit as needed to make the integration super robust. Provide no-compromise bidirectional integration points.
The wallpapers do look pretty. Do they look like Pride to you though? To me they just look like pretty gradients.
I'm glad Apple still celebrates Pride, and I don't want them to stop. But this overall misses the mark.
Personally, I'd be much more excited about this flavor of rainbow capitalism if it came with some more authenticity.
Ok so the new Pride band…
1. How much does this really cost to make? It's $49 but looks it costs less than $5 to make.
2. If I were to see it on the street, I don't know if I would recognize it as "Pride".
3. I think Apple could do a lot better than vague statements like "Apple is proud to financially support organizations that serve LGBTQ+ communities." Why not also say "all proceeds go to X, Y, and Z organizations"?
I'm about to say something I haven't said in 8 years: I'm looking for a full-time job.
I'm looking for the right role with the right people and the right mission, all of which I've laid out in this blog post. I'm mostly interested in something new, so if this sounds like your team I'd love to talk. https://fabisevi.ch/2026/04/29/open-to-work
Both inquiries and reposts would be incredibly appreciated. 🙇🏻♂️
I won't bury the lede, I'm looking to go back to work full-time. I'm thankful to not be under financial strain, so I'm not rushing into anything. Instead I'm coming at this from a place of genuine interest in finding the right opportunity for me. Recently I've had some great conversations with interesting companies, and it helped me realize that there are some things I miss about not being an indie. I'm putting this post out into the universe to find the right fit, and the best place to start is to tell you why I'm going back to work and what I'm looking for.

Embarrassing this wasn’t caught before 26.4 shipped.
The Foodnoms Food Database is bigger and better than ever, thanks to some recent improvements made possible by the latest AI models.
Read about how I automated moderation, upgraded generic food search, and improved data quality in this new post: https://foodnoms.com/news/foodnoms-database-ai-improvements
After six and a half years, Foodnoms has officially hit $50K MRR.
The grind never stops. Still working to make the product better every day.
I love this little app. Glad others do too!
